Matthew Galen came back home to Summerfell for a reason.  Not to visit his family.  Not to relive childhood memories.  No, he came back because his best friend was in a hospital for the criminally insane — for crimes too unspeakable to believe.

But Matthew knows the terrifying truth.  The ultimate evil doesn't reside in his friend's twisted soul.  It comes from a far darker place, a place only Matthew knows.  And only Matthew can stop the evil — if he dares.
